I have an engine out that lived at a machinist's shop for a few years.  I 
picked it up recently ( not done ) and he showed me where he had pulled out 
some steel wool type stuff.  If you want to clean it out, remove that front 
cover and you should be able to clean it out without cutting anything, from 
what I saw.
